I would very much advise you to do it. I am 44 years old and had it done last year. It cost me nearly $2600 for both eyes but was well worth the cost. Although I must admit I have went through about 6 pair of sunglasses since then because I keep breaking them.
The experience was interesting to say the least. They flap your corneas and then use the laser to burn your prescription onto the flapped part of the cornea. The sensation is a little unsettling and somewhat claustophobic. They will give you a light sedative to help with you with those sensations. I was given about 5 mg of Valium.
After the surgery you will note a little blurriness and a stinging sensation in your eyes. You will definitely want to wear the sunglasses they give you or bring your own because your eyes will be extremely sun sensitive. I would ask for a heavier sedative for when I get home because you will need it later.
I had an extremely hard time sleeping the night of my surgery due to the pain. Think about a burn on your finger. Not a blistering burn just an annoying first-degree burn. It stings like crazy for the first 24 hours. Now think about that sting in your eyes. Once you can sleep for about 6-8 hours then you will awake with a very minor sting which will be there for about the next 24 hours. But it will be nothing like that first day. After that it is “gravy”. My vision actually decreased a bit because my eyes were so over-corrected that I had 20/15 vision with my glasses. I now have perfect 20/20 vision in both eyes. No more glasses, contacts, or anything else. A good pair of sunglasses and I am good to go.
You will kick yourself if you don’t have it done. I was worried in the beginning about it being too new but the surgeon that did my surgery has done over 50,000 LASIK procedures. The whole process on the day of your surgery will take about 2-2.5 hours.
I wish you good luck if you decide to have it done and I hope your surgery turns out just as well if not better than my own.
Cosmetic Surgery (including facelift/ breast enhancement tummy tuck./lipo/hair transplant/lasik) is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic and lasik surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by the stinking NHS in UK
They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star .
My cousin got his lasik surgery and he is more than very happy with the results.He is all praise for this forerunners healthcare companyfor the services they provided her.He paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her.Excellent stay,food, best surgeons-he just couldnt stop talking.hope this helps.I think he paid only 1500$ for which he was quoted 4300$ in USA.http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com
consider prk also. prk has fewer long term risks because there’s no flap cutting (also, there’s no eyeball cutting, which i would have had trouble with). it is painful for a few days, but worth it. it was expensive ($3600 for both eyes) but i weighed the expense of contacts every year, glasses every time i lose them, etc, and it suddenly didn’t seem that expensive. i’m definitely glad i paid for a good surgeon rather than looking for a discount. btw, i used care credit, which is a good option if you want to extend payments with no interest.
